Thanks for deleting my comment . thats a fact and no more . they robbed all of our royalties . just search about " distrokid " issues in all over of internet , your money from distrokid is not more important than the human rights . all the best .
Appreciate the shout out Pain!🙏 Definitely keep uploading at least a beat every 10 days (I suggest already pre uploading them at once for the First, the 10th, and the 20th and then submitting them in the Spotify for artists manager [you can only have one submission at the time and I found out that 10 days is the perfect length]) just keep being consistent, the Spotify algorithm really starts to work for you with things like suggesting you in radio etc Good luck to everybody!!🔥
Super helpful, I always found it tedious and annoying that we can’t submit more than 1 track for Spotify playlisting but 10 days seems spot on! I’ve been uploading every Sunday since DEC20, it’s an easy way to promote your beats - especially with all the IG/TikTok integrations
I started uploading bang on 2 years ago this month to Spotify, now hitting roughly 65k monthly listeners and 250k+ streams a month just from beats 🤟🏼 definitely a must if you’re a producer relying on an income from music and you want to diversify yourself
Are u still able to sell those beats when they are on spotify or is there a downside when u post them on these kind of platforms? Cause me and my partner are posting beats on beats stars but im currios if we can also post them on spotify..?
I plan on producing a full length album, ill rap on about 25% of the songs and the rest is gonna be songs by other artists but produced by me, all on my album. Ill even pay for verses from rappers, and royalties split and everything. I got the idea from DJ Khaled, he dropped an album but he doesnt rap. Im gonna do the same. Its gonna be dope.
Thanks for this. I have beats on streaming platforms and have been considering doing consistent monthly uploads but keep dragging my feet. This is a good reminder to get it done👊🏾
Thank you for this. A positive feedback to uploading beats to Spotify is rare. Appreciate you taking the time to explains the pros of uploading beats to Spotify.
Just had a beat go viral and was thinking of uploading it to streaming. People keep asking me, but this answered all the question I had about it. Thanks bro 🙏🏻
I’m glad someone made a video for this! I’ve been trying to get anyone I know make beats distribute them, and not only lease them 👍🏼 Great for the producer community

"Should Producers Put Beats on Spotify" maaaaan, existential question!! Thanks again for this one, sometimes a simple video, another point of view can help AND change your whole process!!! Anyway, thanks again!!!
Just uploaded my first on distro. 🙏🏼❤️👊🏼 Do you need to put a release date in the future to give you time to pitch to Spotify Playlist? Since they don't let you pitch on your stuff that's already released. One thing I would say is that I have a huge portfolio of library music that's all registered with content id and A LOT of people use my tracks without buying a license. You might be losing some income if you don't register your stuff. I'm with identifyy and I leave a contact in the description so we can arrange to clear any YT claims within 24 hours.
I've uploaded 2 albums to spotify in the last year and i was really happy with the results. I definitely did a lot of marketing though, ads on facebook/instagram helped. The idea has to be really cohesive though, for an instrumental ALBUM especially. I did tons of visuals and attention grabbing promo and i found it really worked! but consistency is definitely the main thing. This is 100% inspiring me to upload to spotify more. Starting today. Thanks again Pain1.
I have yet to find a clear answer on this… can I upload my beats to Spotify even if I’ve sold an exclusive license? I would think so because I don’t sell ownership to my beats and remain the intellectual owner of them but like I said I haven’t found a clear yes or no answer on this
@DJ Pain 1 Thank you for this! Do you know why Tundra doesn't upload his Beatstars Beats to Spotify and vice-versa? Are there different rules if you sell beats on Beatstars or is he just staying exclusive to certain markets?
your knowledge is amazing ! everyday i learn something new from you bro - but as a one-Shot AND sample base beat maker im still nervous to put something cus clearness
This is the mission that I’m on as an instrumental producer. My revenue stream goals are 1. Music streams 2. Sync license deals for tv/film. 3. Associated merch
Been dropping twice a week on Spotify. I'm slowing getting some streams. Only at about 8 monthly listeners but I could also promote it more like I do with my beatstars
Great video but what to do in case you release a beat or a beat tape and someone purchases the exclusive licence? Should I take it down from the platform? Thank you
One Reason i Switched to Beat Stars From Distrokid and There is Many Reasons But One is Because Distrokid Kept Denying My Beat Uploads Saying Something About Cope rite Stuff That Was Bull Shit Because The Beats That i Uploaded Are Original Played NO LOOPS Or Samples And Their Customer Service Is Trash and The Back and Forth emailing They Take Forever
Hey Pain I have one question when it comes to “type beats” , is it ok to do producer type beats like for example a “Timbaland type beat” or a “Pete Rock type beat” or should we just stick to artist type beats , like “Drake type beats “ ?
Spotify is VERY against using other peoples name to boost your own name. I don’t know if it’s still possible but I got one beat uploaded and haven’t been able to finesse the system since. You have to make your own lane pretty much.
It’s difficult to put type beat on it. Spotify doesn’t entertain type beats but I’ve managed to get a Travis Scott Type beat uploaded. Other than that they blocked my type beat titles
You didnt touch on slaps it helps you get listens and engagement on your music you havs to get 5 points for every 1 song you want to upload you get those points by engaging with other artists music
@@DJPain1 thank you i was searching this answer. well i dont know how licencing of the music is functioning . and to be honest i am bit lazy to reat terms of services on those sites. tnx a lot man
Great video but you paid way too much for that Visualizer, I mean you're just borrowing it and others will pay for it too and now you all have the same generic looking visualizer.

Is it still available ? I rap too brother🙏🏽
timing is impeccable. thats how you know DJ Pain is in tune with the MULTIVERSE!!!
There is only 1 DJ Pain 1 🙏🏽
The heck!! I feel It
I’ve thought about doing this as well. Needed a video on this. Thanks!!!
Damn just started getting into distributing my beats to spotify aswell.
Perfect timing!
WTF?? I Actually Got Distrokid Subscription 15 Minutes Back ! and I was Uploading My Beat when This Popped Up !!! DJ PAIN1, You got Superpowers ???
Perfect timing on this video! I’ve been thinking about the subject all week actually! Thanks for the video 👍🏼

I dont understand why 🤷🏽♂️
I think putting together a solid themed beat tape with 10 tracks twice a year with quality artwork cover would be cool to put on spotify.
Do it
Honestly, I need to learn how to make an album cover. And be able to implement my artwork on it.
Just had a beat go viral and was thinking of uploading it to streaming. People keep asking me, but this answered all the question I had about it. Thanks bro 🙏🏻
The time I watched this video he has 111k Subs. and This video is 11:11. Legendary synchronicity.
Dj pain 1111111
Thanks for the indepth walkthrough, this I'ma change to distrokid now
I'll keep you posted on what I do with it
Thank you for the wisdom

What's your Spotify artist name? I wanna take a listen
Check out Diego boy beats!!!!!
Thanks D.J. Pain for putting us on Game.
Started last year and tbh I enjoy making music more knowing traffic is coming in all directions it’s dope
Released 2 albums in a months,1 with vocals,2 just beats,on to the 3 one today,let's go get this 🎒 baby
Good game, didn’t know about the visualizer & graphics
Definitely that's what I'm thrilled about
Thx for all your advice and sharing your experiences!
Man I’m so glad you did this one. 💯
thanks for the tips i am always on the fence abt this...
Like i dont want my artist profile clogged with beats its tough
like should i just make 2 accounts, like ver2ion and ver2ionbeats
The Goat himself 💪💪💪
Changed the game for me

Why do you don’t use the beatstars distribution service instead of using distrokid? It has all the same features.?
Great video man!
@DJ Pain 1 Thank you for this! Do you know why Tundra doesn't upload his Beatstars Beats to Spotify and vice-versa? Are there different rules if you sell beats on Beatstars or is he just staying exclusive to certain markets?
really good. thank you.
🤯😱
So i could be down with beat stars and distrokid at the same time
- AWESOME
Yep. And beatstars has distribution too so you wouldn't necessarily have to leave the platform even.
your knowledge is amazing !
everyday i learn something new from you bro
- but as a one-Shot AND sample base beat maker im still nervous to put something cus clearness
Thanks bruh... Been trying to get some clarity on this for the last year or so.. sheesh... I should have done this a while so 😐
I send many of my links to gamers on twitch and some use them during their intro, broadcasts etc which reaches MILLIONS
This is the mission that I’m on as an instrumental producer. My revenue stream goals are 1. Music streams 2. Sync license deals for tv/film. 3. Associated merch
This would help that goal
@@DJPain1 most definitely
It'll be dope if Beatstars & Distrokid partner up and allow for Beatstars streams to be monetized. Great video btw
Beatstars would have to start paying out royalties like a Spotify, so that would change the platform's purpose quite a bit
Bruh that shit would finally give producers the respect we deserve
U are Golden!!
Thank you 🙏🏿💯
love this beat
I like the brush sound ? On snare drum for your intro track…..
7:00 🔥
Been dropping twice a week on Spotify. I'm slowing getting some streams. Only at about 8 monthly listeners but I could also promote it more like I do with my beatstars
wow big gem 🙏💯💯
Great video but what to do in case you release a beat or a beat tape and someone purchases the exclusive licence? Should I take it down from the platform? Thank you
I think you're good it's on the artist to register their new work as a derivative of your old work..
I'm not sure though.. #MindmazeBeats
u aint using beatstars distribution? :p
One Reason i Switched to Beat Stars From Distrokid and There is Many Reasons But One is Because Distrokid Kept Denying My Beat Uploads Saying Something About Cope rite Stuff That Was Bull Shit Because The Beats That i Uploaded Are Original Played NO LOOPS Or Samples And Their Customer Service Is Trash and The Back and Forth emailing They Take Forever
Alright who else is seeing 11:11 everywhere!?!?
will this work with just the musician plan? i already purchased it before coming across this video :/

@@overflowbeats6965 I meant more for UA-cam or BeatStars
@@emmanuelkotei649 UA-cam doesn’t care at all, it’s why you see it everywhere on the website and I’m pretty sure it’s all over Beatstars too.
@@overflowbeats6965 Thanks for the response mate, I really appreciate it
I UA-cam content I'd my beats I upload to Spotify can I still sell them?
No answer.
Are there tags on the beats you're putting on Spotify or other streaming services?
Tag em bro
I keep them tagless on spotify, a lot of playlists don´t want tags in the beats, but do what you find best fitting :)
It’s difficult to put type beat on it. Spotify doesn’t entertain type beats but I’ve managed to get a Travis Scott Type beat uploaded. Other than that they blocked my type beat titles
Don't tag them for Spotify
@@Marcel16DM always tag your beats
You didnt touch on slaps it helps you get listens and engagement on your music you havs to get 5 points for every 1 song you want to upload you get those points by engaging with other artists music
Distrokid over beatstars distribution?
Hey Pain, how is this goin??
Should we upload tagged or untagged version on Spotify?
Untagged
@@Marcel16DM thanks man.
There's my question
Them videos I'm sure you know by now they cost $8 to $10 a piece I've bought a few to post on IG
in comparison, how well does youtube pay on a monthly basis when a producer monetizes his/her channel?
I don't know what it is for others, but I def can't cover my bills with what I make from it
Can ı upload my beats only content ıd system ? Without uploading them spotify or itunes
By using Distrokid, does that get me a Spotify checkmark?
yes lol
Yeah there's a way to do instant verification through them
I am just wondering can I upload at teh same time on both platforms distrokid and beatstars ?
Why not?
@@DJPain1 thank you i was searching this answer. well i dont know how licencing of the music is functioning . and to be honest i am bit lazy to reat terms of services on those sites. tnx a lot man
This isn't new to me
30 beats n counting ...
Great video but you paid way too much for that Visualizer, I mean you're just borrowing it and others will pay for it too and now you all have the same generic looking visualizer.
That 8 dollar expense made me file bankruptcy
